A refurbished health centre is officially opening its doors in the Scottish Borders after substantial redevelopment.
Jedburgh health centre now boasts improved facilities and an increased range of services, providing a higher level of care to residents in the Borders town.
It is coming up for one of the busiest times of the year for those working in one of our region's biggest industries.
Lambing season means round the clock work at the farm.
However, farmers work hard all year round to make sure they can breed as many lambs as possible.
Jenny Longden brings us the first report in a series giving us an insight into a working farm in the Borders.
The annual Borders tradition of Hand Ba' was held in Jedburgh today.
Centuries ago, it would have involved the use of an Englishman's head, but now uses a ball with ribbons.
Jenny Longden reports:
Shop owners in the Borders have boarded up their windows in true Hand Ba' tradition, ahead of the main competition.
The game of Hand Ba' specifically for younger men is now underway in Jedburgh.
The main event will take place at 2pm.
Shops and houses board up their windows to prevent damage, and the game can go up alleyways, into yards and up streets.
Traditionally, the first ever game was played with an Englishman's head. The ribbons on it symbolise his hair.
There are two games, one for young men, which starts at 12pm, and the second is the adult game, starting at 2pm, which can last for several hours.
The game is always played on the Thursday after shrove Tuesday, or the week after, depending on when the first new moon falls after Candlemas.
The annual tradition of Hand Ba' will take place in Jedburgh this afternoon.
The game, which dates back to 1914, is based on a version of medieval football.
It was once played all over Scotland, but today Jedburgh is one of only a few towns that keep up the tradition.
Two parts of the town, known as the uppies and the doonies, depending on where players were born, have to get the ball to their respective side.
To do this, the ball must be manhandled, often in a moving scrum.
A Borders farmer has hit out at some supermarkets, after a survey found some are still stocking large quantities of imported lamb.
Stephen Withers, who farms near Jedburgh, says many fields are full of lamb right here, and there is no need to find it elsewhere.
He said:
"We are selling lambs for £25 less than last year, in the Borders there is a large number of lambs still on the farm, and it is so disappointing to think they are bringing lambs half way around the world to supply what we have plenty of just in this area.
"Supermarkets are our main outlets and without them none of our lamb would be sold. The butchers take a very small proportion.
"It is so disappointing to think that they are not supporting local farmers when we have so much quality lamb in this area."
A 15th Century hotel in Jedburgh will have to have thousands of pounds spent on it or it could collapse, according to its new owners.
The Spread Eagle in Jedburgh was rumoured to have been visited by Mary, Queen of Scots, and some parts of it are built with stone from Jedburgh Abbey.
The front wall of the hotel is buckling, due to structural damage.
It's thought a wall was removed from the hotel bar 50 years ago, which has caused near collapse on one part of the building.
The new owners, the Mclay Partnership, plan to spend up to £60,000 fixing it.
Lothian and Borders Police are appealing for anyone with information regarding the disappearance of 420 Christmas trees to come forward.
The Nordman Pines, worth over £6000, were stolen from Brundenlaws Farm near Jedburgh on November 26th:
